The Valentine's Day
Dare Hunt
Chapter 1:
The White Dress
Normally, when I wake up, Edward, my personal god, is there beside me. So when Alice shook me awake this morning, I was instantly suspicious. Of course, my suspicion was over powered by my tiredness.
"Alice, cut it out!" I said groggily as I closed my eyes again.
"Come on Bella, wake up!" She said impatiently as she shook me again.
I tried to turn around which ended up being a bad idea because somehow, I was in a chair so I fell.
"Ow!" I whined.
"Bella! Are you okay!" Alice exclaimed.
I heard Rosalie cracking up and this made my suspicion come back . How was I in a chair and why was Rosalie in my house. I snapped my eyes open at once, all traces of tiredness gone. I figured out that I was in Alice's bathroom. . . in Edward's House!
Finally, she's awake" Rosalie said her laugh now a giggle.
"I'm fine Alice. I'm used to falling. By the way, Alice, what am I doing here?" I asked confused. Was I dreaming? Was this real?
"When Edward, Jasper, and Emmet left to go hunting last night, I told Rosalie my plan and this morning I brought you here" she explained
"Why?" I asked
"To help you get ready" She said. When she saw my confused expression she added "For Valentine's Day"
I felt my face go pale. That was today! I regained control fast enough for neither Alice or Rosalie to notice my moment.
"Come on" Alice said. "I'll help you put on your dress"
"Wait! What dress? When did I buy a dress?" I asked panicking
"Oh come on Bella. It's beautiful, you'll love it" she reasoned and she took off.
A dress! I took a deep breath and counted to five before I followed her. I mean, I knew there was no point in arguing but what was I so panicked about. I wondered how big of a celebration Edward would make today to distract me. While I was thinking, Alice had taken off all my clothes and put on my dress. I didn't even notice I was wearing it until Alice took me back into the bathroom and asked me how it looked. The dress was white with blue swirls. It was higher than my knees. Thank god I shaved yesterday. I didn't say anything and just scrutinized the dress to mess with her
"You don't like it?" She asked, disappointment coloring her voice.
"Just messing with you. I like it but I don't understand why I can't just wear my sweatpants and a shirt?" I said while eyeing Rosalie's white pants and red blouse outfit.
"Because!" She said "You look good in dresses and Edward likes them on you. Especially when they have blue. Now think of something else while I do your make up. Rosalie will do your hair. Right Rosalie?"
"Fine" she said as she put the finishing touches on her makeup. I noticed just now that both of them were already done and they looked amazing. Alice was wearing a form fitting, crimson red dress with tiny sapphires. She had high heels and looked better than Rosalie which I had to give her credit for because that was tough. I would never look like that.
Turns out, I was so tired that I fell asleep again and woke up to Alice shaking me again.
"Come on Bella, wake up!" She said as she shook me.
This time I had recovered my energy so I opened my eyes and gasped as I looked in the mirror. I looked like a doll. I had make up in almost all my face but it
didn't look like too much. I also noticed I was wearing crystal jewelry. I thought about how much this must have cost but quickly shoved it out of my head. My hair was organized in such a beautiful and perfect way I couldn't even describe it.
"I like my hair Rosalie, it looks amazing. Thanks" I complimented her taking advantage of a moment to soften her up. It worked.
"You're welcome Bella" she said smiling, which I had never seen Rosalie do.
I blushed and looked down. That's when I noticed the treacherous heels I was wearing. They weren't high, but with my balance problems, I would probably fall all over the place. I started to take them off.
"Bella!" Alice whined as she stopped me. "They are part of the outfit. You won't fall so don't worry.
"Fine" I grumbled. I would take them off later.
When Rosalie brought me breakfast, French toast and juice, I hadn't even noticed how hungry I was. Once I saw the food, I felt like I hadn't eaten for days. Again I had to admit, Rosalie could also cook, not as good as Edward though.
Right about when I finished, Alice saw that Edward and his brothers were on their way home. She quickly explained what she could about what was to happen today.
"Okay, every Valentine's Day, we used to play a game called dare hunt. We stopped playing after a while because we thought it was a little boring without Edward. Now that he has you, it'll be more fun. The object of the game was to try to see how much a couple knew about each other by going, you could say, treasure hunting. Every person is given 3 golden arrows. Lets use Rosalie and Emmet as an example. Rosalie and Emmet would both hide their arrows in the best hiding spot they could think of. Then, they would write a key or map as how to find the arrow. Remember a few days ago I wrote 3 keys with you, that's what they were for.
The only way to find the arrow is being able to solve the key for which you would need to know a lot about the other person. After each part of the key is solved, an arrow is found. Let's say Rosalie finds the arrow before Emmet. Rosalie won round 1 she may then give anyone of the losers a dare which they must do or owe the other person any 5 things they want. not including the dare. In this case, it would be Emmet."
I struggled to try to remember everything since she was speaking like 100 miles per hour.
"As the rounds go on, the keys get harder making the arrow harder and harder to find. The first complete couple to get out may enjoy Valentine's day as they please but must first set a challenge for the remaining couples, which they must complete. After that, the couples left keep competing until another one gets out and so on. Even couples that are out may still get dares. Got it? " Alice asked
"Ummm, not really" I confessed
"Well it doesn't matter. The rest of the holes will be filled in when you play. Edward, Jasper and Emmet are just about home and if we don't meet them down stairs, they will come looking for us. Then they would figure out what we were going to play. Rosalie and I will think about something else until we want to tell them. You just don't say anything to Edward. Okay?" she asked
"Fine" I said simply
